New Lead PastorUpdate from the Board of Elders The Board of Elders is pleased to share that after months of praying, searching, and discerning, the Board recently unanimously agreed to offer Jeremy Rios the role of our new lead pastor. After a time of prayer and consideration, Jeremy accepted the offer, and will be taking the position in November. Throughout the evaluation process, we saw evidence of how God has been uniquely preparing and equipping Jeremy for this role, and we firmly believe he is a strong fit for this position. We want to thank all of you for your prayers and for providing feedback following the candidating weekend which was very helpful to our evaluation. Jeremy, Liesel, along with their children, Moses, Cates, Asa and Lucy, will be relocating to North Vancouver in a few weeks’ time. If you haven’t had a chance to get acquainted with Jeremy yet, you can review his bio as well as links to his messages and books here. We encourage you to take a moment to bless Jeremy and his family by writing a short message of welcome and encouragement. You can send a message via this online form here. |

Let’s all be praying that the immigration process for Jeremy and his family goes quickly and smoothly! For more infomation visit:
